I just wonder what the vast userbase of uneducated people (seniors, teen bloggers, ironically education institutions, etc) who moved over to macs because they bought the lie will feel when they too later discover that the promises were a lie.
Because unlike Microsoft, Apple doesn't have a battle hardened OS where security has been worked on systematically, for over a decade.
And I could have told you the same story years ago. I don't need blatantly obvious bugs like this one to back that claim.
There was no lie. It was true then, and is still clearly and obviously true now, that Mac users have a small fraction of the malware issues that Windows users have. The difference between iOS and Android is even more stark.
You're also hilariously wrong about Microsoft having a supposedly "battle-hardened" OS where security has been worked on systematically. OS X is based on BSD Unix, where security has been worked on since the 1970s, before Microsoft even existed. OS X itself is now 15 years old.
I administer hundreds of Macs and PCs. I can objectively state that the PCs have about 10-50x as much issues with malware as the Macs have, and those issues are more severe and affect users and admins more. Everyone who manages both Macs and PCs in the enterprise is well-aware of this.
